Strathcona Park Lodge’s multi-day expeditions are best described as world class. From the glacier carved peaks of Strathcona Provincial Park to the Pacific Ocean swells of Nootka Island, enjoy the abundant sea life of the sound and become captivated on a mountain. We have been guiding alpine to ocean trips longer than anyone else on Vancouver Island.

We’ve carefully chosen these destinations for the isolated beauty, scenery, wildlife and environment.

We take care of all the logistics, from shuttles to float plane flights, food and camping gear. All you need to do is show up ready to explore a wilderness destination on beautiful Vancouver Island.

Strathcona Park Lodge & Outdoor Education Centre

We are a self contained community of more than 20 buildings, 50 or more staff and hundreds of guests. The entire operation is powered by a micro-hydro system, which means we’re highly sensitive to energy conservation. We also treat our own water and heat some of it with passive solar technology.
